    RT-3100 or RT-AC86U

    Any opinions if one of these are a better choice than the other, for example known issues, current support, regular updates, etc? I can see both have firmware updates available from September, and I see many posts on the 86U, but not much on the 3100. Feature-wise they are pretty close to...

    AC86U - torrent upload problems

    I was running Download Master earlier, but now I'm using Transmission but there's almost no upload when running torrents... The attached HDD is going to sleep very often. My ISP's upload is 30MBit so it is not as bad. If I run QBitTorrent on my laptop the upload is fine. Has anyone same problem?

    Experiencing a very strange issue with my RT-AC86U. Everything works great via the 5GHz radio (eth6), but when a device connects to the 2.4GHz radio (eth5), no traffic is routed.

    Upgrade from RT-N66U - Need traffic monitoring

    I've got an RT-N66U that I'm happy with, running Merlin 380.70. What it lacks is useful traffic monitoring and stats. Ideally, I want to be able to see what clients connect to what servers/web-sites, and when they're connecting. Bonus if I can store that data on a USB-drive, so it's persistent...

    Plan to buy AX wireless router? See this first!

    Thanks to Max who helped to test both Asus RT-AX88U and RT-AC86U with this Galaxy S10+. He has poor performance on WiFi 6 compare to WiFi 5. This confirmed my test results are true also.
